Sword and Magic and Taxi

After listening to Xiaohua's description, Zhao Mai knew something was wrong, so he asked the owner of the grocery store: You only have more than ten pounds of bulk goods? Why did I hear that the things here are more expensive, but you can supply quality and quantity? ?”

Thank you for complimenting me so much. Guaranteeing quality is what I always do, but guaranteeing quantity can only be said to be an exaggeration. The goblin adjusted his glasses and waved the boy away from the front desk, and he climbed up the round stool so that he could cross Looking directly at Zhao Mai from the height of the counter. I'm a craftsman, so I won't tell you any lies. If you came a day earlier, let alone more than ten pounds, I could find the stock immediately even if it was ten or twenty times more. But it's very difficult Unfortunately, people got the things you wanted first, so I only have some scattered inventory left.

It's such an accident that someone ordered it away? Zhao Mai frowned: I heard that you have many kinds of goods here. Can you let me sort through them so that I can try and see if I can find a replacement.

Of course you can. Goblin Kolzer smashed his fist on the counter, and the counter reluctantly gave way. He led Zhao Mai through the secret door and came to the backstage.

This is a large, square room filled with various displays and showcases. Looking up, you can see many animal specimens and models, as well as many flying-related items, such as brooms and flying carpets. On the four walls are scrolls and books, gems and materials, various clothing accessories, tools and equipment, as well as some strange things that are difficult to classify. Zhao Mai saw a circular wooden turntable in the middle of the room, with a diameter of ten meters, on which dozens of large and small sacks were stacked. There are several open bag mouths, and you can clearly see which medicinal materials are included. There are more types than Zhao Mai needs, but the three wizarding medicinal materials Zhao Mai needs are all in the bag.

The stove that Xiaohua was talking about was at the corner between the two walls. It was a stone fireplace carved into the shape of a goblin's face with a wide mouth, and the thick chimney resembled a tall chef's hat. There was a blue flame burning in the fireplace, with no temperature and very low brightness. Zhao Mai took a closer look at the foundation of the flame and found that the blue fire was lit with floo powder.

Floo powder is a grey-blue powder that is a magical item used by wizards to teleport themselves. Grab a handful of Floo powder, stand in the fireplace, and throw it at your feet while stating your destination. As long as the destination allows Floo powder transmission, the wizard can arrive instantly. Aside from being a little dizzy and nauseous, floo powder is a very convenient means of transportation. However, in order to control traffic and protect secrets, Hogwarts does not allow the use of teleportation methods including floo powder and apparation. However, there is no such restriction in Hogsmeade village not far from the school.

Zhao Mai didn't expect the goblin to show him these herbs so generously, and a puzzled expression naturally appeared on his face. Kolzer pointed at the sack and said: I received a big order last night, and I want these magic medicines. The price is very good, and I can't refuse the terms. It's a good deal. It's better than just asking around. Business without money is much better. He clapped his hands, and the shelves on the four walls began to change. The things on the three walls retreated behind the walls, and what appeared in front of Zhao Mai turned into thousands of various plants and minerals. The display cabinets for potion materials span all four walls.

These are all samples. There are almost all the ingredients for the confirmed formula. There are also some strange things that are said to be used as medicinal materials, but I am not sure, so they are stored together. The goblin rubbed his fingers and said to Zhao Mai said: If you want to choose, don't damage the samples, otherwise you will have to compensate according to the price. At the same time, you have to pay a fee of two gold coins.

This is two gold coins, and this is one gold coin as a thank you fee. Thank you for being so honest with me. Zhao Mai said to the goblin: Can I ask who ordered these medicinal materials and what they did for them?

I can't say who it is specifically, the goblin rubbed his hands again, and Zhao Mai put one gold coin after another into his hand. When it came to the fifth one, Kolzer said: All I know is this: the buyer is a wizard in Germany, and he wants these things to refine potions. This time the quantity is very large, and I am asked to try my best. Collect more and send them to him.

Zhao Mai pointed to the fireplace: If I walk in, can I reach the other side?

The goblin quickly grabbed him: You must not! Floo powder flames are different from Floo powder! This flame can only transport inanimate things, and living things will die if they walk in! Your body will be teleported It's past, but your soul will still be here. If we can't be reunited within thirteen minutes, your body and your soul will be ruined.

A potion master in Germany. I really want to meet him. Can you tell me the specific location of the teleportation?

Oh, I'm afraid that won't work. The floo powder flame is opened on the opposite side. I only know that there is Germany, but I don't know the specific location. Kolce said to Zhao Mai: No matter what, these goods have been It belongs to the other party. You'd better look at other medicinal materials quickly. If a new order comes, and you are late again, wouldn't it be even more sad?

Zhao Mai watched as the medicinal materials he wanted were thrown into the teleportation flame by Kolce. There are disappointments and regrets, but we can’t rob this place.

Two of the potion materials he needed were mainly to suppress and remove the curse part of the flu and reduce the spread of the disease and the speed of infection. Since this part is more focused on removing spells, it is not as easy to find a replacement as another ingredient used to treat diseases. In fact, the search for alternative medicines is often a matter of luck, and it is common to find nothing. He and Xiaohua used natural force induction to check the plant-based medicinal materials. Only when they found those with similar properties, Zhao Mai would taste a little and guess the efficacy of the medicine through the body's reaction.

This method was quite rough, and Goblin Korze observed with wide eyes, and even put down what he was doing. On the one hand, he was worried that Zhao Mai would die in his shop due to poisoning, which would be difficult to explain to the Ministry of Magic. On the other hand, he also had to calculate how much Zhao Mai had eaten so that he could charge him.

After trying them one by one, Zhao Mai found six things that were suspected to be useful, but whether they could be used in his own medicine could not be determined until they were actually prepared. He showed the list to Kolze. The goblin only glanced at it and said: These have been sent away. They are the same as the three you asked for before. I only have a few samples left here. There are only one kind left. Just a pound or two.”

It's such an unlucky coincidence? Or is it such a coincidence? Zhao Mai put down what he was holding and paid the tasting fee of three gold coins. He looked at the prices Kolze listed for 6+3 items, and then shook his head. The original three types are still acceptable, but among the newly found four, even if they can be used as medicine, the price will be greatly increased. The other two are of little significance if they cannot be supplied in large quantities.

From the current point of view, my prescription is basically finalized. It would be good to make some on a small scale and test both the efficacy and properties of the medicine. The timing of this incident was so coincidental that it had to make Zhao Mai suspicious.

Besides the order for medicinal materials, does this person have any other orders?

Kolzer shook his head, and then said: He only ordered medicinal raw materials. If he could buy other things like this, then I would be so happy. Oh, what a pity!
